Haley, a civilized city-centaur goes to a party at a centaur village with his friend, completely unaware of a certain centaur custom...

Some centaur stuff for zornklaue over on FA

Was actually surprisingly fun, loved writing all the characters in this one.

This is my first "full-length" straight-story so if anyone is willing to give me feedback on how I did, please leave me a comment and I'll know what to do better next time.

I swear I'm slowly transforming into an equestrian with my growing knowledge on different horse breeds the more I write...

Haley, Jack and Scott belong to zornklaue


"Come on, move it, Haley! We're already plenty late for the party as it is!" Jack said, stomping the grass below his hooves at a brisk pace with his blonde comrade following behind his dark brown haunches. Being much more used to the luxury of pavement back in the city, Haley cursed under his breath as one of his hooves slipped on the grass and had the second male centaur searching his balance for a bit before cantering after his friend.

"It's not much farther now is it?" The blonde centaur with a boxed beard of a matching shade asked, catching up to his friend to the best of his ability.

"No, not at all! Look, you can already see the village from here!" Jack chuckled, extending his right arm to point towards the horizon, where a silhouette of a settlement was indeed drawn against the sky, which was painted orange by the dying rays of the sun, already descended behind a distant mountain. "Now put some hooves in front of hooves. There are plenty stallions and mares who want to meet you once we get to the party."

Intentionally falling a few feet behind, Haley swallowed nervously before launching into a light canter behind his buddy. His movement on the comparably hard-to-traverse terrain wasn't made any easier by his own anxiety about the main event itself. This was actually Haley's first time visiting a centaur village since he had been a little colt, and he was understandably nervous about meeting a whole bunch of centaurs he wasn't acquainted with.

This had all started a few days ago, when Haley's best friend, Jack had invited him to a party in a village near his farm. Naturally, being more reserved of the two, Haley had at first been hesitant to go, but Jack had still somehow managed to coax the blonde centaur into coming; as always. Haley wasn't by any means opposed to going to a party in itself, it was more about the circumstances of how, and where the party was attended.

Firstly, as per Jack's words, Haley was not to take any sort of clothing with him. Nothing. Apparently, it was normal for the centaurs in rural villages to attend gatherings completely in the nude, at least the stallions, that was. Haley hadn't dared to ask about the mares. The city-dwelling centaur still wasn't exactly comfortable with not wearing anything to a more-or-less proper gathering. He couldn't help feeling underdressed even now as he followed in Jack's hoofsteps down the hillside.

"I still can't believe you talked me into this," Haley muttered as the warm evening breeze brushed against his skin as he again, caught up to Jack's speed.

"Come on, it'll do you good to mingle around your own species for once. And you'd be standing out a lot more if you wore a shirt, trust me!" The dark-haired centaur reassured his friend, cracking a canny smile as he had a habit of doing as the two stallions headed for the village, eventually descending down to a grassy plain.

Secondly, the party was held at a more remote part of the country, and a whole different range of customs and social norms applied back here, most of which Haley, living in the big city, was not aware of. He wanted by no means to stand out, nay accidentally cause trouble by acting rude without knowing. Jack had been awfully quiet when Haley had tried to inquire about any social cues or etiquette he should be aware of, and the anxious half-man half-horse had a bad hunch, that at some point of the evening, he would unintentionally embarrass himself and Jack would be nearby to laugh his tail off.

Is this really going to be alright? Haley though, a nervous tingle running up his spine.

Setting his grievances about the party to the back of his mind, for now, Haley followed his friend across the grassy field spread between the two stallions and the village, the settlement on the horizon growing bigger and bigger the closer the two got to the centaur dwellings. At the brisk pace they were trotting forwards, it took the duo really no time at all to reach the edge of the 'taurian habitation, the grass under their hooves soon replaced by smooth pavement, much more comfortable to traverse; at least for Haley.

Haley curiously looked around as his friend led him through the decently modern residential area, quite resemblant to the human suburbs also present in the blonde centaur's hometown, except that the doors, appliances, and houses, in general, were much more centaur sized as one might have expected. Even though it wasn't even that late as of yet, there were barely any other centaurs out on the streets, most of the houses the two passed also almost eerily silent, not a spec of light seeping out from the many windows of the surrounding buildings. This actually suited Haley quite well, since he was still at odds with being entirely naked in public, something he would've probably gotten fined for back at home.

Jack, knowing the village and its streets well, walked Haley through the silent settlement, confidently zig-zagging between buildings and opting for a few short-cuts here and there as the pair of stallions made their way through the village and towards the party. The village was actually much bigger than what Haley had anticipated, and the two stallions ended up walking for quite a while. They didn't talk for the entire duration of their walk as if not to break the sublimely serene atmosphere of the dozing rural settlement.

Eventually, the pair of stallions turned the corner to a street which was bordered by houses noticeably fancier than what they had walked past during the ten-or-so minutes they had been passing through the village.

"Alright! We're almost there." Jack huffed, lashing his black tail excitedly as he nodded towards the end of the street. "That's our destination over there!"

Haley squinted his eyes in the diminishing light of the warm evening, peering into the direction Jack had nodded towards. The house for the party could already be seen in the distance, the light from its windows illuminating the darkening summer eve, the mellow breeze carrying over sounds of joyous chatter and laughter as well as other miscellaneous sounds of a party. Jack gestured for Haley to follow, and the two centaurs started making their way down the empty street in silence, only broken by the sounds of eight hooves steadily clacking against the stone pavement.

Haley felt the uneasiness stirring in his chest again as he followed Jack along the street, his dark tail swishing nervously behind him. With each step, his anxiety continued to grow.

Ok, Ok! It will be fine! They're centaurs just like you! Just be yourself, be polite and it will be fine...

The nervous stallion tried reassuring himself, regardless of how little it actually helped ease his anxiety about the event. His heart was already beating like it was about to burst out of his chest at any given moment, his hooves feeling heavier and heavier the closer he got to the house. Haley prayed Jack wouldn't notice how nervous he was, or he'd never hear the end of it for sure.

Brooding over his insecurities, Haley didn't even notice when he and Jack had reached the end of the street, the narrow gravel path leading up to the house now stretched out in front of them. Momentarily distracted from his thoughts, Haley inspected the building again now that the two stallions were much closer to it.

The house was sitting on a hill, slightly elevated from the rest of its surroundings, circled by a white, wooden fence running along the edges of the entire property. The hill wasn't tall, barely even 15ft, but still noticeably elevated the centaur-built structure above the others in the same neighborhood. The most striking quality of the building itself was that it was big. It was no mansion by any means, but had a more villa-esque architecture to it, and was certainly more grand than the rest of the buildings inside the village. A perfect place to host a party on all accounts.

A shiver of uneasiness ran down Haley's spine as he gazed up at the intimidatingly large structure, in his head trying to figure out how many centaurs exactly could be waiting for him and Jack inside. But just as his mind began to wander, Haley felt a bump to his equine hindquarters and promptly shook his head, returning to the present from his thoughts. He looked to his left and saw Jack smirking in his usual manner, right eyebrow slightly elevated in a questioning manner. The more confident male nodded his head towards the house, scraping the gravel with his hooves.

"Come on! Let's get inside! I'm sure they're already waiting for us!" Jack huffed, launching into a gallop on his way to the front door, leaving Haley well behind him on the narrow gravel path.

It wasn't that long of a distance and Haley caught up to Jack at the front door moments later, just in time for Jack to extend his right arm towards the wooden entrance with a decorated brass doorhandle.

Jack enthusiastically knocked on the door, making sure to wipe his hooves on the long doormat splayed out in front of the main entrance, Haley doing the same as soon as he noticed what he and his friend were standing on. Without turning to look at his best friend, Jack quietly muttered: "Relax dude! It will be fine!"

Just as the blonde centaur was about to say something back to his friend, the upper half of the door swung open, revealing an older, broad-shouldered, chestnut-haired stallion with a boxed beard and grim expression from behind it. The third male quickly scanned the two newcomers with his eyes, curiously lifting his eyebrows as his brown irises examined Haley's body, the younger centaur getting an acute reminder of the naked state of his half-equine frame. Darting his eyes to the right, the older stallion's expression transformed completely, a wide toothy smile spreading onto his rugged face, a welcoming glint appearing in his eyes as he saw Jack next to the other male.

"Jack! Come on in!" The older stallion rejoiced, opening up the rest of the door for Jack, revealing his lower half to be that of a draft-horse, just as one might have expected of his size and the amount of body hair on his human half.

"Scott! You old bastard, how are you!" Jack enthusiastically greeted the bigger centaur, extending his hand for a handshake, getting abruptly pulled into a hug by the robust stallion.

"What's with that? You scared of giving an old friend a hug?" Scott chuckled, giving the younger male a proper squeeze with his muscular arms before releasing Jack from his firm embrace.

"T- *Cough* T-that's because you always come so close to breaking my ribs!" Jack chuckled and shot a nasty smile at his half-draft friend who laughed out loud, his sturdy upper body shaking with laughter.

When the laughter eventually died down the stallion at the door naturally turned his face towards Haley, who had been awkwardly observing the exchange of pleasantries from up close.

"Who's this?" Scott inquired, leaning his face slightly closer to the younger male, taking another, more thorough look at Haley.

"This is my friend, Haley!" Jack replied, familiarly wrapping his right arm around his blonde friend's neck while Haley extended his arm out for a handshake. "The one I've told you guys about."

Scott nodded his head and grabbed Haley's hand, giving the younger male a firm handshake. "That's a nice, sure handshake you got there Haley! A real stallion's handshake!" Scott said, cracking a smile. Haley also opened his mouth to say something, but was suddenly at a loss of words as the stress in his system was suddenly relieved with the sudden encounter. What followed was about ten seconds worth of silence before the blonde centaur managed to utter: "T-thank you!"

"What's with him?" Scott asked amused, glancing at Jack who, as usual, was smirking next to Haley.

"You see he's from the city!" Jack chuckled, placing heavy emphasis on the last word of his sentence.

Scott elevated his well-defined eyebrows, looking impressed but wary at the same time. Haley guessed they must've not gotten visitors from the city that often. "That so?" The big centaur took another look at Haely, from his ears down to his tail. "Well, regardless I hope you enjoy your stay! Come on in you two!" Scott turned around on his big and heavy draft hooves, stomping his way back inside the house with the two younger males in tow.

The house was just as spacious as it had appeared from outside and there was plenty of space for multiple centaurs just in the entrance hall alone. It was so wide that all Scott, Haley, and Jack would have fit to walk it side-by-side without trouble. From the entrance hall, the space opened up to a vast living room, extending both to the left and right of the entrance, joined with an open-concept kitchen and dining space almost directly visible from the front door. The capacious space was filled with centaurs; mares, and stallions of different breeds, eating, drinking, laughing, and talking with each other at all parts of the house. From what Haley quickly counted, there were about two to three dozen other centaurs present, about half of whom were stallions, and the other half mares. Haley was able to sigh with relief, noticing that most of the mares, at least in his view, had their upper bodies clad with something, varying from bras to tops and even bikini tops as far as Haley knew mare fashion. The stallions were predominantly naked.

Feeling much more at ease, Haley, along with Jack, cautiously stepped into the living room, filled with all sorts of different smells and upbeat chatter, small groups or pairs of centaurs excitedly conversing with one another. Almost immediately a pair of young stallions came over to greet Jack, who playfully grabbed one of them into a stranglehold and ruffled his ginger hair before pushing him away with a grin, giving the other colt a fistbump. "These two are Dex and Han!" Jack explained, directing the excitable stallions towards Haley, who promptly shook hands with both. "They sometimes help out at my farm...But usually only when they get in trouble here and need the villagers to cool off a bit before returning."

"That's not true!" Dex, the one with ginger hair huffed, stomping the floor with his hooves and crossing his arms above his chest.

"Oh yeah? The last time you two came over was when you were caught stealing apples from Ms. Hoofworths orchard." Jack smirked, teasingly poking the younger stallion's left collarbone with his index finger.

"But that was just a misunderstanding!" Han, who had short, dark hair similar to Jack's, chimed in.

"Sure, sure! Then what about the time when the two of you..."

Haley chuckled, eventually getting distracted from the conversation, his curiosity about his surroundings getting the better of him. The intrigued centaur took a sweeping glance at the living room, not seeing that much out of the ordinary. The house's interior was decorated rather elegantly, a couple of scenic paintings hanging on the walls here and there, some surprisingly modern flower arrangements resting on a long, oaken bureau, and even an abstract granite sculpture at one corner of the house by two large windows. The living room didn't have too much furniture, which wasn't that uncommon in centaur households. There was a big sofa, two centaur-sized chairs, and a TV stand and...

And that was when Haley saw it.

Not that far from where he was standing, at the other end of the living room, there was a stallion with long dark hair, currently in the process of mounting a fair young mare, having already reared himself onto the female's back. Even from across the room, Haley was able to spot the onyx-black flare extending out of the stallion's sheath, the half-Arabian male swiftly lining his big equine sex organ with the female's exposed behind, plunging his colt-spewing baton into the mare's offered cunt in the blink of an eye. Both their moans got carried over to Haley's ears as the stallion began bucking his hips, feeding his equine fucker to giggling mare and her acceptive centaur sex. The pair themselves didn't seem the least bit concerned about fornicating in public and were actually holding up a conversation whilst fucking. What perhaps was even stranger, was that other guests didn't seem to mind the two going at it either, some giving the couple a quick glance if the mare happened to moan particularly loud when the stallion hammered his pole into her at just the right angle, but other than that, no-one paid them any mind.

What on earth was going on?

Mesmerized by, what essentially was live centaur porn, Haley just stared at the display of half-equine intimacy, his mouth hanging half-open and eyes wide from sheer disbelief. As a completely natural reaction to seeing his kin engage in mating, part of Haley's own flare dropped from his sheath by a few inches, completely unbeknownst to the confused stallion himself.

The abrupt session of half-equine love was however quite short-lived, as both the stallion and the mare with golden locks reached their limit. The half-Arabian male didn't make the slightest effort to pull his length out of his temporary lover and casually pumped the mare full of his colts, grunting with satisfaction as he did. The mare arched her back and moaned very sensually, an ecstatic grin spreading on her blushing face as the male graciously finished inside of her, promptly dismounting his filly as soon as he was done. Haley watched as the mare turned around to face the stallion, and the two continued conversing as if the half-equine creampie hadn't just happened.

Haley, most likely wearing an expression as if he had been hit on the head by a log, slowly turned towards Jack, who had finally been left alone by the younger stallions he had teased for a short while. But just as the baffled blonde demihuman opened his mouth to ask Jack what was going on, the sound of eight hooves rapidly approaching the two, newly entered stallions caught both him and his friend's attention.

"My! Look at the two of you!" A bright, confident voice soon sounded from their left, just as the two stallions had turned towards the hoofsteps.

The voice belonged to a mare, standing defiantly before Haley and Jack, enthusiastically checking out the male centaurs with a wild smile on her face. The female's eyes were violet and glimmered with excitement as she leaned closer to Jack and especially Haley. She had straight hair, dark as the feathers of a raven, mostly swept onto the right side of her face, from where it reached down to try and tickle the fair skin of her shoulders. The equine part of her body was gray with small white spots running along each of her sides. Haley assessed her to be Lusitano, but he wasn't a hundred percent sure. She had a thin waist, flat stomach, and slim chest, her breasts, while not entirely flat, most likely only curving out to a B-cup at best. Nevertheless, she looked quite enticing in her white bikini top and a zig-zag-patterned black and white loincloth she had wrapped around her waist.

Next to her stood a second mare, her hair amber and descending down way past her delicate shoulders a bit more curly and messy as one would expect from such long locks. One thing that Haley immediately noticed about her was that she was considerably more bustier than the first mare, her bountiful cleavage nearly leaping out of the confines of her pink bra, strained by the round, playful funbags they tried to contain. She too was built rather slim which caused her robust rack to stand out even more, compared to if she had been half-shire or half-draft, being an Appaloosa per her spotted, white and chocolate-brown rump. The second mare also wore a loincloth contraption similar to her friend, the equine part of her waist covered by a checkered, white and pink skirt that reached almost to her knees.

Both mares looked to be about the same age as Haley and Jack, perhaps even a year or two younger.

"Who's your friend Jack? How come we haven't seen such a cute stallion here before!" The amber-haired mare giggled, playfully winking at Haley, who felt the heat rushing to his face at the appearance of the two beauties. People in the city usually weren't nearly as straightforward or as willing to interact with strangers.

Business as usual, Jack drew a sly grin onto his face, and familiarly slapped his right hand onto Haley's shoulder. "Why this Paint stud here is my friend Haley! Haley, meet Nia and Lucy." Jack introduced the two mares to his friend, each female doing a small curtsy as the stallion stated their names. Haley nodded his head to both mares, not quite sure whether to look straight at them or not since both were so intensely staring at him.

"Oi! You didn't answer Lucy's question now, did you?" Nia, the one on the left with dark hair asked with attitude. "How come we haven't seen him around before, Jack?"

Lucy nodded her head in agreement.

"Well, you see, this particular stallion is-"

"Jack...? Is that you?" A strikingly dignified sounding voice was suddenly to be heard from the left of the two stallions, prompting all four centaurs to turn their heads towards it.

A mare, Thoroughbred by the looks of it, trotted her way towards Haley and Jack, moving her hooves ever so gracefully, before finally settling down next to Jack. She had stunning dark hair, cascading down her nape and back almost all the way down to her waist like an onyx veil, straight and shiny, just like her tail. Her eyes while appearing cold and dark had a hint of playful curiosity in them as they gazed at Jack, her painted lips slowly getting drawn into a careful smile while she tilted her head slightly to the left. The dignified brunette beauty was wearing a dark-purple halterneck, comprised of one single strip of cloth, crossed over her ample bosom and tied behind her back. The outfit was very seductive in nature, showing off plenty of cleavage and even some side-boob to anyone daring enough to take a gander at the dark mare's impressive rack. Overall, she was a drop-dead gorgeous female specimen of centaur, Haley's heart skipping a beat immediately upon laying eyes on her.

But the new mare's outer appearance alone wasn't the reason why Haley's heart began to race, it was the ambiance surrounding the female. The positioning of her hooves, her mild facial expressions, and subtle idle movements as well as the way she carried herself gave Haley a strong impression of a high-society mare, cold and elegant like in some sort of historical drama. And even though she couldn't have been older than Haley or Jack, the new mare had an intimidating aura of maturity around her.

"Sylvia?" Jack asked, tilting his head and leaning closer to the third female. She nodded carefully. "Wow! It has been ages since I last saw you! How have you been?" Jack smiled, for once looking genuinely elated and surprised instead of just his usual grin. "Oh, right! Haley, this is Slyvia. We used to go out a long time ago, back in school."

Haley made an acknowledging nod towards the female, who replied with her own, also slightly bending her knees to a classy curtsy.

"But my! You seem to have done well for yourself, haven't you? You're as beautiful as ever?" Jack chuckled, staring deep into Sylvia's icy iris', not in the least intimidated by her presence.

"Still a charmer I see?" Sylvia giggled in her dignified, high-pitched voice, curiously eyeing down her ex-boyfriend who she hadn't seen in years. "...I have, thank you for asking."

Jack and Sylvia locked stares, and Haley could immediately sense strange, påssionate tension between the two exes. And it seemed he wasn't the only one.

"Say... since it has been such a long time would you mind if I...?" Jack asked nonchalantly.

"Oh, not at all! Be my guest!" Sylvia shook her head, flicking her tail to the side of her blackish-brown Thoroughbred rump.

"Then please excuse me."

Haley and the other two mares then watched as Jack pranced his way directly behind Sylvia, the blonde stallion unable to not notice the girthy, half-erect flare of his friend hanging outside its dark sheath beneath his belly. Haley's eyes widened in shock as he realized what Jack was about to do, but the stunned stallion had no time to stop or protest what was about to happen.

"Mhnnnnn~" Sylvia's strikingly erotic moan echoed through the entire first floor of the house, as Jack's girthy horsecock entered between the gallant mare's equine lips, sinking deep into her marehood in one, swift go, her bountiful breasts jumping daintily from the impact.

Jack's mounting of his ex was as rough as it was spontaneous, but the dark-haired mare didn't seem to mind in the slightest, appearing overall very excited to be reacquainted with the male centaur, who was now multiple inches deep inside her. Having properly clambered onto her dark back, Jack gently placed his hands on her shoulders and began pumping his hips towards Sylvia's, the sounds his equine plunger made in the moist grasp of the mare's lower lips easily audible to the three closest onlookers.

Haley had to use the entirety of his brainpower to stop his jaw from dropping onto the floor as he witnessed his best friend so unabashedly mounting a mare in public, his ex nonetheless. Somehow managing to hold his facial expressions in check, the baffled stallion carefully turned his head to look at Lucy and Nia, only to find the two mares staring at him like nothing out of the ordinary was happening. The same thing seemed to be the case with the other quests, Jack and Sylvia, apart from gathering some intrigued, curious looks, none of the two dozen half-equines paid that greater mind to the couple, who was having sex almost in the middle of the living room.

Haley, beyond confused, offered an awkward smile at Lucy and Nia, as the two mares seemed to be much more interested in the blonde stallion than the ongoing eight-hooved romp, barely even glancing at Jack, who was aggressively mounting Sylvia less than ten feet away from the other three centaurs.

"So... Haley?" Nia asked, playfully dragging on the finishing vowels on her words, completely ignoring the equine hips loudly smashing together to her right. "Could you tell us why we haven't seen you around before..?"

Sylvia moaned again, her honeyed expression of pleasure ringing in Haley's ears as he processed the brunette mare's question for a bit longer than what was required.

"I...I'm actually from the city!" Haley said after clearing his throat, his voice competing with a satisfactory grunt from his best friend, whose equine dick was spelunking in some -by the sounds of it- very soft mare pussy. "I... Haven't been to a centaur village since I was a colt." Haley continued, trying to stop his eyes from getting drawn towards Jack and Sylvia. The blonde centaur was also painfully aware of his own stallionhood getting more and more erect by the minute from all the lewd, erotic sounds his friend and his ex were producing.

"Oh, so you're a true city-stallion then...?" Lucy giggled, leaning her upper body closer to Haley, curiously looking up at the flustered stallion's face from under her brows, giving Haley a generous view directly down her cleavage. Haley blushed.

Haley never got to respond as Jack grunted loudly just then, finishing his business into the deepest part of Sylvia's equine cunt, much to the satisfaction of the panting mare, who now had a twisted, ecstatic grin on her face. And as soon as he was done, Jack promptly dismounted Sylvia, pulling his flare out of her so quickly that some of his stallion seed spilled down onto the floor from between Syliva's hind legs.

"Khrm... I see you're still as enthusiastic as you were back in school..." Sylvia muttered, clearing her throat and quickly drawing a more respectable expression onto her face.

"Why thank you!" Jack made a crude bow walking next to his ex, now focusing his attention back onto Haley and the two mares opposite to him.

"Looks like ol' Jack's still got it huh?" Nia smirked impishly.

"Shut up Nia!" The stallion playfully snarled back at her.

"...Speaking of which..." Nia muttered, deftly turning around on her hooves, suddenly presenting her Lusitano rump to Haley. And just as deftly as she had turned, the brunette mare whipped her dark tail aside, giving Haley an unobstructed view of her hungrily winking centaur vagina.

Haley's eyes widened as he felt the rest of his long stallion cock drop, Nia's marehood prompting out a swift but natural reaction from the blushing blonde stallion. His breath was caught in his throat as he stared at the pair of expectant equine lips and the pink crevice between them that the mare so willingly offered to him: a completely unknown stallion in her books. Haley felt a pleasant sting by his loins, his equine instincts already telling him to breed her, against every rational cell in the modern centaur brains of his. He had no idea what to do.

"Mhh~ Me too!" Lucy chimed in shortly after, also turning around and presenting her Appaloosa haunches and pussy to Haley, prompting the black and pink horsecock between the stallion's legs to throb twice as hard as before. Her cunt looked just as warm and inviting as Nia's, also desperately winking for the stallion's attention just beneath her tied tail. The blush on Haley's face deepend considerably.

This is a dream.

Haley muttered inside his head.

This has to be a dream.

Why on earth would two beautiful mares, who, mind you, were practically strangers to him, offer themselves up to get mounted so willingly? And it was not like Haley didn't want to, his perfectly healthy stallion sex already raring to go in fact, the only things holding him back were his manners and the sheer absurdity of the situation. By now, his face must've been beet red from both arousal and embarrassment.

"Come on Haley! Don't be rude!" Jack's amused voice soon sounded left of Haley, and the confused stallion felt something wrapping around the tip of his tumescent marefucker. Haley's best friend had bent down next to him and had grabbed the blonde stallion's cockhead in his grip, now forcibly yanking it towards Nia and her anticipating gates. Not wanting to get his dick ripped off, Haley danced forward on his hooves and reared, somewhat awkwardly landing onto the Lusitano mare's back, staggering to balance himself on his rear hooves. Haley was now close enough to feel the heat coming off of Nia's genitals on the blunt tip of his long loverod.

"Sorry, he's from outside the village. He might be a bit crude at times." Jack apologized to the two mares, who shook their heads whilst smiling gently.

"No, no! It's ok. It's quite adorable, actually." Nia giggled, glancing at Haley's blushing face from over her shoulder with a lustful glimmer in her eyes. Lucy nodded her head.

"You should always accept a mare's invitation to get better acquainted!" Jack chastened his friend, gently slapping the back of Haley's head as if the blonde stallion should've known that. Haley cast a confused and somewhat irritated glance at his so-called friend, who was smiling widely at his comrade's predicament. This had obviously been the reason why Jack had been so adamant about Haley attending the party.

Jack shrugged off Haley staring dagger at him with a cheerful chuckle before leaning in right next to his friend. "When in Rome..." Was all that the dark-haired stallion managed to say before another surprised voice, belonging to yet another mare called out Jack's name a bit further away. "Come on! In you go!" Jack announced, hastily guiding Haley's tip inside Nia's moist entrance with his hands, both participants flinching from the abrupt intimate contact.

Leaning away, the dark-haired centaur cast a devilish smile unto his friend and said: "Excuse me, Haley... Ladies..." Before trotting away towards the kitchen.

"So are you gonna greet me or what?" Nia huffed expectantly, wiggling her equine rump back at the stallion on her back so that her puffy lips swallowed a couple more inches of Haley's stallion length. Haley flinched and shifted his focus onto the situation at his hooves, two pairs of expectant eyes directed at him.

From what he had gathered at this point, Haley deduced that a stallion mounting a mare was some kind of getting-to-know-each-other custom among the village's centaurs. And as bizarre as it was to him, the other guests seemed to be perfectly desensitized to sexual acts in this context. And the best part was that Jack had seemingly done his utmost NOT to tell Haley anything about it.

However, already halfway to mounting a mare, there really wasn't any room or reason for Haley to backtrack now. He didn't want to embarrass himself, even less Nia, who was eagerly waiting for him to start moving.

When in Rome... Haley thought to himself as he thrust forwards, properly penetrating Nia's plump mare pussy.

Nia's bright moan echoed in Haley's ears as his shaft pried open the mare's writhing, velvet-soft flesh crevice, plunging deep into her slippery marehood, which hungrily swallowed all the stallion could feed to it. Inch by inch, foot by foot the magnificent stallion tool disappeared inside the jubilant, dark-haired mare, who scraped and tapped the floor with her forehooves, shuddering with delight as her cunt was filled to capacity by her stallion. One could almost hear the wet squishing noises as Nia's insides squeezed themselves around Haley's length, slathering each inch of the male centaur's cock with their mare juices.

It had been quite a while since Haley's last hookup and simply penetrating a female of his own kin gave the stallion immense pleasure, now rippling throughout his body in waves, culminating down by his equine loins and taut Paint testes. Nia's grip was pleasantly tight, her soft, moistened walls now doing their very best to tempt the stallion into breeding them. And there was nothing Haley would've liked to do more, even though he still found the situation sort of awkward, mostly because there were so many others around. His desire to fuck was through the roof, no matter how tall the first floor of the large house was.

Another moan escaped Nia's painted lips as Haley gave her hindquarters his first thrust, moving his stallion sex organ within the Lusitano mare's quivering cunt. Receiving instant feedback from her insides -now wildly contracting around each inch of his equine length- Haley adjusted the grip his forelegs had on Nia's equine sides and started pounding her from behind like a rutting stallion. Releasing a series of moans of varying loudness from her mouth, Nia also adjusted the positioning of her hooves on the floor, so that her cunt could better receive the blonde stallion's eager thrusts.

"S-s-so what d-do you d-do for a living, H-Haley?" Nia asked, her voice shaking with the powerful thrusts Haley's hips enthusiastically delivered to her backside, the blonde stallion's malehood steadily lurching back and forth in her trembling grip.

"I-...I'm a web designer!" Haley grunted, having to slightly alter his pace due to getting caught off-guard by her question.

"S-so you're a computer guy, h-h-huh?" Nia muttered, her vaginal walls momentarily tightening around Haley's slick fuckpole, unable to hold back the strong baton of stallion meat. The half-Lusitano mare voiced a very erotic sigh, muttering something to herself what Haley wasn't able to quite hear.

"P...Pretty much! It...It's a desk job. N-nothing special~" Haley grunted in response, not fully believing he was having this conversation while being in the process of mounting a mare.

"Mhh~ I-I bet y-you could teach s-some of the older stallions and mares in the village a thing or two r-relating to computers then?" Nia asked, her voice cracking on a few words as she appeared to be trying to rear beneath Haley's equine belly, to no avail of course, because of the added weight of half-a stallion on her.

Haley didn't respond as he was getting way too close to his climax, his cock already flaring between Nia's womanly folds, getting ready to spew out some colts inside the moaning mare. And with how intensely her insides were sucking him in at the moment, Haley had no doubts about Nia being close to a stallion-induced squirting session herself.

Lucy lustfully watched from the side as the two other centaurs eventually reached the inevitable conclusion of their salacious salutation ritual, both Haley and Nia soon erupting into gasps and moans when the thick stallion seed finally started pumping into the receptive Lusitano mare. In spite of the rather foreign circumstances of the mounting, Haley came hard, earnestly, and with great pleasure inside Nia's purring kitty, all three feet of his tumescence participating in the unexpected centaur insemination; pumping the sticky contents of his equine testes deep inside the shivering filly.

Nia was still quietly muttering something to herself when Haley activated the strong muscles at the equine part of his body, carefully starting to back off of his rapidly breathing partner who shivered violently as soon as the blonde stallion's member moved within her walls. Another one of Nia's suggestive moans echoed around the living room as the tip of Haley's mare-prodder plopped out of her, some sticky evidence of their brief, casual love session oozing out onto the floor from between her legs. And there was quite a bit of it.

Not wanting to burden Nia with the weight of his stallion frame any longer than necessary, Haley promptly reared as soon as he felt capable of doing so in his post-orgasm bliss, his evaluation of said maneuver perhaps a bit too generous. The Paint male's haunches -still somewhat strained from the active thrusting- were unable to fully support Haley's weight, causing some staggering and eventual loss of balance on the handsome stallion's part. But to his fortune, Haley fell directly where he needed to be next: Onto Lucy's back. The Appaloosa mare offered Haley a gentle smile, despite the force, and grace of Haley's "mounting" of her having been far from optimal.

Responding to Lucy's smile, Haley promptly cleared his throat and fixed his position on top of her back, clenching his forelegs around her sides and widening the stance of his rear hooves on the hardwood floor behind her. Although the second mare had also expressed her willingness to the more conventional way of centaur greeting just minutes earlier, Haley, still new at this form of interaction now hesitated for a brief moment on Lucy's back.

"Please..." Lucy giggled, backing her Appaloosa rump against Haley's erct horsecock. "Be my guest!"

Nodding, mostly to himself, Haley moved his hips, guiding the blunt tip of his variegated stallion tower to the sopping gates of Lucy's wet marehood, the familiar warmth of a female centaurs insides caressing Haley's twitching cockhead for the second time this night. The blonde stallion took a jab at his partner, missing Lucy's entrance on his first try, his blunt tip only grazing one of the moist lips of her entrance. His second thrust was to no avail either, this time hitting too low and slipping underneath its trembling target. The still slightly nervous stallion missed a couple of more times before finally deciding to take things slow and finally managing to line himself up properly with Lucy.

Taking a deep breath, Haley gently prodded his tip against Lucy's entrance, immediately realizing how wet his new partner already was, in all likelihood from watching Haley and Nia getting acquainted. Lucy was absolutely gushing from between her rear legs, wetting the first few inches of Haley's mast before the stallion even got past her lips; something which the crafty mare eventually took care of herself.

Haley suddenly had to stifle a moan as Lucy abruptly backed herself onto his cock without a warning, her mischievous giggle interrupted by a hoarse moan when her stallion's thick medial ring passed by her sodden entrance. "You should not make a lady wait you know?" The Appaloosa mare snickered as soon as he had gotten all three feet of Haley securely inside her pussy, now playfully wiggling her backside against Haley's hips.

"M-my apologies..." The Paint male cleared his throat, doing a makeshift bow with his upper body on the smiling mare's back.

"Hmm~ I'll forgive you... but only if you do me real hard..." The amber-haired mare whispered and winked, flashing a mischievous smile to Nia before facing away from her stud, her walls promptly clamping down on the blonde stallion's meat.

As by the mare's orders, Haley launched into a series of long, powerful thrusts, pulling out nearly half of his gargantuan length, before flattening his hips against his partner's hefty horse behind, slamming his stallion virility at the very back of Lucy's quivering cunt. This time around, Haley had both the courage and desire to be much more callous with his movements, something that his partner seemed to appreciate greatly, judging by all the lewd voices each of Haley's jabs managed to elicit out of the Appaloosa mare.

Lucy's plentiful breasts bounced up and down in their pink bra as the ecstatic mare got it good and hard from behind in the middle of the living room from a stallion she had only met about ten minutes prior. The juices from her cunt were spilling out and running down her legs as the two centaurs exchanged greetings, moving from strangers to acquaintances one moan-inducing, pussy-clamping, and chest-clenching thrust at a time. Now it was Nia's turn to watch from the side as her friend got on with her greeting, the recently-mounted Lusitano female gazing wistfully at the couple's violently rocking hips, subconsciously biting her lower lip.

Unlike Nia, Lucy wasn't out to ask any questions from Haley, simply wanting to be fucked by the stallion she was curious about, even more so after seeing him mount her friend. This particular mare also seemed to like her greetings a bit more rough than her Lusitano comrade, actively pushing her hips to meet Haley's thrusts, her expressions of pleasure more vocal the harsher the impact. She even offered her arms for Haley to grab from behind and use as leverage for thrusting into her, which the eager stallion did without a second thought, much to her pleasure.

Not even a good two minutes into mountin'n'poundin' his second mare of the night, Haley could feel his testes preparing another serving of extra-thick stallion gunk, to be served to aparticualrly fat and thirsty pair of equine lips. As a centaur stallion, Haley possessed the sexual stamina to inseminate multiple mares a night if needed, but the blonde male was still surprised at how fast the amber-haired female managed to coax out his second climax, relative to how little time it had been since the stallion's first. To her credit, Lucy was an incredible fuck for what it was worth; actively participating in the intercourse either by moving her hips or clenching her divinely soft cunt, her insides massaging Haley's centaurcock even more eagerly than Nia's as they attempted to milk the handsome stallion for every last drop of the sticky half-equine essence Haley carried in his testes.

Inhaling his lungs full of the salaciously-scented living room air, Haley pulled Lucy as far down on his fucker as he could, busting out another fat one inside an expectant, willing hole, his colts rushing up Lucy's writhing lovetunnel in a heartbeat. Lucy, surprisingly, held her tongue, only a muffled whimper squeezing out from between her pursed lips as she got a cuntful of liquid colts from her temporary lover, all four of her delicate hooves tapping the floor either in excitement or either just from her trying to desperately hold back her climaxing moan. She was gripping Haley like a vice with her private parts, her insides unwilling to let go of their new favorite toy until the orgasm was over.

A soft giggle, a grunt, a few tugs, and some hoofsteps later, Haley, at last, had all four of his sturdy Paint hooves back on the floor, giving some much-needed relief to his equine haunches, on which the male had been standing on for a surprisingly long whilst mounting his two new acquaintances. Haley's entire deal was covered in his jizz and some of both Lucy and Nia's feminine secretions as it now hung lazily and half-erect below the stallion's white belly, having pleased its partners in an expected fashion.

The two mares were now back to their normal selves, Nia smiling cheekily and Lucy standing silently next to her, a gentle, satisfied grin on her fair face. "Not half bad!" The dark-haired mare on the right smirked. "As expected from one of Jack's friends!" Nia leaned in and slapped her hand onto Haley's left shoulder, a wide smile decorating her face.

"It certainly was nice to meet you, Haley!" Lucy said in her relaxed tone, curiously scanning the frame of her new acquaintance one last time before continuing: "We hope you'll be coming to more parties with Jack in the future... Now if you'd excuse us..." Lucy made a careful curtsy before she turned around, Nia following her friend after giving Haley one last smile and a wink from those devious eyes of hers.

The pair of mares waved Haley goodbye and trotted over into another corner of the house, most likely to greet some other unknown stallion they had spotted earlier.

Haley exhausted all the air he had in his lungs, taking a couple of deep breaths as his equine half shivered, still remembering the sensation of the two mares' lady bits on its deflating surface. Had all of that really just happened? He had casually mounted two mares in the middle of a party, fucking and creampie-ing both of them in succession without any strange looks or a public uproar. Was this really just a greeting, a custom to the rural centaurs? And one that Jack had somehow failed to inform Haley of. Regardless, this was certainly a custom Haley could get on board with.

The twice satisfied stallion didn't get too many moments of rest before he heard a bright female voice calling out to himlittle harder if you want to. I won't mind...": "Well, well, well... Who's this handsome colt?"

The blush already fading from his face, the Paint stallion swung his body around 180 degrees, ending up face-to-face with yet another mare, who was eyeing him up rather curiously.

The mare was a Holsteiner, the entirety of her equine half predominantly silver-gray with white spots of varying sizes adorning her sides as if someone had flicked a large paintbrush dipped in white at her. She had long, bronze hair, which descended past her shoulders glimmering and straight like silk, playfully curling upwards, towards her body at the ends. Out of the mares Haley had seen so far, the one currently staring at him was definitely the bustiest at the party, her eye-catching, sweater-stretching breasts rounding up to a firm G cup under her beige, very tight-fitting sleeveless halterneck sweater, which she wore more like a top, plenty of her stomach left exposed down towards her waist. She was an older mare for sure, this information however not relayed to Haley by her looks, which hadn't in the slightest deteriorated with time, more so on the account of her strangely motherly aura that surrounded her.

The mature mare's deep blue eyes greeted Haley with a curious glimmer as she took a few steps closer to the stallion of her interest.

"You must be the one Jack brought... The one from the city... Am I correct?" The mare asked with a dignified tone, placing her right palm onto her cheek as she eyed Haley up and down.

Haley nodded.

"Haley!" He said with his best smile, the older mare's eyes lighting up with excitement as her suspicions were affirmed.

"Dahlia! Ms. Maneston, Dahlia... Feel free to just call me Dahlia." The female centaur replied with youthful glee in her voice.

After the verbal exchange, a strange tension was now hanging between the two, Dahlia looking as if she was expecting something from Haley. And Haley, this time, was fully aware of what it was, but still hesitated slightly on the count of his partner being slightly more mature and, judging by her demeanor, definitely an upper-class centaur.

Remembering Jack's words inside his head, and not wanting to be rude by any means Haley took a deep breath and stepped forwards. "Uh... W-would you mind if I...?" Haley nodded his head towards her rump, lifting his left hind leg to show off his endowment.

"Oh, so splendidly polite~! And they say city stallions are crude!" Dahlia giggled with glee, visibly very pleased by Haley's tact. "Mhh~ Go ahead, darling." The mature mare chuckled, turning around with the swiftness of a fair filly, presenting her wide mare rump to the younger stallion, flicking her lush white tail to the side, exposing the entrance to her moist and dark mare cavern, her full lips already winking at Haley below her tailhole. "Whenever you're ready..."

Although it was not like Haley needed any time to get ready as Dahlia, even her sopping genitals aside was very sexually appetizing to look at, and the younger stallion was back at full mast before he had even reared on top of his partner's Holsteiner haunches. Haley pushed his hooves off the floor, his three-foot centaur shaft jumping with the momentum, its flat tip eventually settling about 8 or so inches away from its target, pre already gushing out of it.

"Get as comfortable as you need! I know I might not be the youngest filly anymore but I'm certain I can still take a stallion... Especially one as handsome as you..."

Dahlia's words only added to Haley's increased confidence, and the blonde stallion nudged himself a bit further on his partner's back, the tip of his colt cannon nearly kissing the velvety vaginal gates of the mature mare. Haley clenched his forelegs together, getting a firm grip on Dahlia's sides and preparing himself for entry.

Just then Jack happened to walk by, exchanging smiles with the mare before stopping and leaning closer to his friend. "You better greet her good, dude. She's our host!" The brunette stallion whispered. Haley stared at his friend with surprise in his eyes but didn't say anything.

"Jack! How rude of you not to bring your friend to greet me any earlier. Where are your manners?" Dahlia asked, sounding most of all amused rather than offended.

"My sincerest apologies Ms. Maneston!" Jack turned around and made an overly exaggerated bow. "It was just that Nia and Lucy managed to catch us right as we entered, and well, I didn't want my friend to look bad immediately upon his arrival."

"Hmmm~ Well I'll forgive you just this once... How could I stay mad at you for bringing over such a gorgeous stallion?" Dahlia shot a radiant smile at the stallion on her back.

Dahlia's praise caused Haley to blush ever so slightly while Jack made another bow before quietly backing away, giving his friend a parting wink before trotting off from the two mid-mounting half horses.

"Now then... Where were we?" The bronze-haired she-centaur giggled, playfully backing herself into Haley's hips, smushing her marehood against Haley's stallion stabber, gasping excitedly from the sudden, intimate contact.

Not allowing his partner's newly revealed status bother his mounting efforts, Haley tightly squeezed Dahlia's spotted sides between his forelegs and aimed his precum glazed tip towards the warm, womanly sensation wafting off of the older mare's pussy, his newfound confidence backed up in increasing amounts by his burgeoning stallion's lust. Haley wasn't bothered by mounting in public anymore, not even when this particular affair seemed to garner lots more attention to his two previous greetings at the party. It was just a greeting after all.

Ignoring the multiple glances getting tossed in his direction by the other centaurs, Haley heatedly bucked his brown and white hips, leaning into his opening thrust with almost his entire body weight. The head of the younger male centaur's flare hit bullseye, punching directly between Dahlia's steaming hot vaginal lips, burrowing a good eleven inches inside the trembling mare slit, some of her mature mare juices gushing out immediately upon penetration. Dahlia, however, didn't entertain Haley's ears with an erotic moan nor an ecstatic gasp but rather held her cool most admirably, wearing a calm smile whilst looking back at her stallion. The walls of her experienced pussy were already extremely busy gobbling up the first third of Haley's horsecock as the Paint stallion performed his second thrust, stepping forward with one of his rear hooves as he climbed further onto the Holsteiner mare's back, nearly sinking the remainder of his stallion meat into the squirming depths of his host.

This time there was a distinct reaction from Dahila, who hummed quietly as Haley's sex punched against her insides, the shape of her nipples getting drawn onto her sweater as they got erect from the salacious stimulation to her womanly parts. One last time, Haley jumped forwards on Dahlia's back, slamming his three-foot tower of tumescence between her equine folds, completing the salutational mounting in style.

"Oh my! You city stallions are so eager!" Dahlia snickered, with Haley being able to detect some horsecock-induced trembling in her gleeful but mature voice. "It's like you folk don't greet each other enough!"

Haley chuckled quietly as he wound his hips back behind Dahlia, his erect flare slipping out of its temporary warmer inch by inch all the way up to the medial ring of his cock, before the paint stallion delivered it back into the many moist folds of mature mare pussy. Dahlia yipped quietly as Haley followed through with his thrust, the experienced mare carefully placing her palm over her lips uttering "Oh my!" as if greatly embarrassed by the sound of her own voice.

Multiple centaurs began slowly gathering around Haley and Dahlia, the new handsome stallion claiming the gorgeous hostess certainly garnering some attention, especially from the mares of the party, who began whispering amongst themselves while Haley enthusiastically mounted his mare, Dahlia's ample breasts jumping joyously in rhythm with Haley's humping.

Doing what stallions do best, Haley relentlessly plunged his cock deep into Dahlia's cavernous marehood, his hard shaft sliding in the wetness of her walls with astounding ease as he slammed his hips against his mare over and over again. Dahlia was an amazing fuck, the feeling of her stallion-milker not even comparable to most other mares, its velvety grip enticing the younger stallion to mate with the mature mare even harder. The elegant mare let the younger centaur do his thing without producing too much noise besides her cunt, which was exceptionally vocal in its quest to milk the three-foot stallion dong it was being fed by Haley. By no means was Dahlia just a passive recipient in this, she, at least with her stallion pleaser, was very much an active participant in the mounting, caressing Haley and his meat in ways no other mare ever had as she took thrust after thrust from the Paint stallion behind her.

Yet another explosive, sticky stallion orgasm brewing within his testes before long, Haley hastened his movements behind Dahlia, soon ramming himself onto her rump at a breakneck pace, eliciting some astonished gasped from the surrounding audience. Acting upon his insticts, the panting blonde stallion deftly reached around Dahlia's slender sides, slipping his hands inside the beige sweater she had covering her upper body, gently caressing the pleasant weight of the mare's sizable tits with his fingers.

"Mmhhh~ Such youthful energy!" Dahlia gasped as Haley's fingers curled up to play with her erect nipples, her silky insides immediately responding to the stimulation to her chest. "Some country stallions are starting to lack passion when it comes to greeting... This kind of eagerness is very refreshing!"

With the praise, Haley let his hands roam free under the soft fabric, groping, pinching, squeezing, and tweaking the entire surface of Dahlia's marely mounds, their smooth, soft surface and pleasant elasticity acting as fuel for Haley's lust, prompting the stallion to mate with even more enthusiasm in his rapid thrusts.

Even despite what Haley was doing with his hands, Dahlia still held back both her expressions and tonsils extremely well, only gasping or humming from time to time even when getting barraged by Haley's best mating efforts. This left the blonde stallion yearning to hear the mature mare's moans, even if just once. And if going hard wasn't going to squeeze those sounds out of her, Haley would have to alter his approach.

Nudging himself backward on Dahlia's back, Haley hastily tugged his flare outward, the variegated shaft generously glazed in the mare's juices emerging from the gentle grasp of the Holsteiner horse pussy. The blonde stallion stopped as soon as his medial ring plopped outside the female centaur flesh cave, taking a brief moment to adjust his positioning behind the mare, to the great intrigue of the surrounding crowd. His three-foot stallion flare already near to bursting, Haley began to make quick, short thrusts into Dahlia, teasing her with the wide ring at the halfway point of his equine fucker, dipping it just to the other side of her lips before pulling it back out, causing the rest of her vaginal cavity to convulse with envy to the part of her pussy that was being so meticulously stimulated.

Dahlia flinched noticeably, but her calm expression didn't waver.

"My, you're cunning aren't you? I suppose that's what you get from hanging out with Jack..." Dahlia giggled, a series of palpable shivers ravishing her body beneath Haley. "If you really want I'll moan for you once we finish... Is that acceptable? So why don't you be my strong, handsome stallion and give me your best thrust, darling?"

But Haley had neither the time nor mental capacity to agree to Dahlia's terms, his raging stallion blood kicking in just at that very moment, prompting him to bury his trembling member hilt-deep inside his partner before his loins exploded with pleasure. A satisfied groan crawled out of Haley's throat as the Paint stallion once again got to breed a mare with his colts, his third load of the party pumping into Dahlia's loins while the mare held up her end of the bargain, her fair voice gracing the surrounding centaurs with its presence in the form of a salacious moan, one that could make even the most controlled stallions flinch with how erotic it was.

"Mmhhh~ Thank you, darling..." Dahlia whispered, leaning her upper body into Haley's embrace, lovingly patting the younger stallion on the cheek as the last few ropes of stallion semen filled her up.

Haley took a deep breath as the crowd of centaurs murmured amongst themselves around him and Dahlia, a lot of the surrounding mares giving him looks best described as lascivious. In his newfound and sudden desire to show off -and to tease the older mare a bit more- Haley held his horsecock fully flared as he abruptly pulled it out of Dahlia, succeeding in coaxing a small yip out of the esteemed mare as some stallion jizz escaped the clutches of her lips and splattered onto the floor behind her.

"Mhhh~ Truly cunning..." Dahlia smiled, her face blushing just that decisive bit to give Haley the satisfaction he had been seeking with his stunt.

The well-bred female stretched his torso, shaking her equine lower half like a bathing canine, playfully slapping Haley's forelegs with her tail as the Paint stallion dismounted her.

"It was nice to meet you!" Dahlia said with a brimming smile, fixing the positioning of her sweater as she turned around to face Haley.

"...The pleasure was all mine." Haley chuckled, bending his knees a bit in an effort to mimic a formal bow, his own behavior somehow reminding himself of a certain cocksure friend of his.

"Well, I do hope you enjoy your stay, Haley. Perhaps you and I will bump into each other later on during the night... Although I reckon it will be quite the busy evening for you." Dahlia hummed, referring to the impromptu line of mares almost directly behind her new acquanitance. She wasn't wrong at all.

Getting one or two rumps offered at him already, Haley puffed out his chest and turned around, deftly clambering on the back of the first mare behind him, ready to give out more of his city-stallion greetings.
